•Slide the storm collar down over the chimney to the top of the flashing. The storm collar must be installed 1 in. off the chase top flashing to provide proper ventilation (Figure 8.17).

•Tighten the bolts of the storm collar and seal the storm collar against the chimney with sealant. Be sure chimney and offsets are properly supported.

•Apply a non-hardening waterproof sealant around the chimney at the point where the storm collar will meet the chimney just above the flashing (Figure 8.17).

•Attach the chimney cap onto the top of the chimney by setting the female end of the cap onto the male end of the last chimney section. Secure the cap by using four sheet metal screws (provided, Figure 8.18.)

•Do not push down from the top portion of the cap as this may damage the cap. Push from the lower section of the cap if needed.

•The chimney cap top can be removed for chimney cleaning as described in the Chimney Inspection & Cleaning section (Section 3) of this manual.
